Ukraine Creating a Buffer Zone
Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine after a few hours of the video being aired declared the motive of this military incursion into the Russian Kursk region was to thwart the Russian attacks by establishing a “buffer zone”.
Ukraine is now almost weeks in time zone since the Ukrainian troops initiated the largest incursion on Russian soil, marking a sturdy event two years after Moscow invaded Ukraine in 2022.
“Minus one more bridge”, Lt Gen Mykola Oleschuk, the commander of the Ukrainian Air Force, captioned when he posted the situation on social media alongside the bird’s eye footage.
Ukraine’s Aired Video of Second Bridge
Through the video footage a massive billow of smoke and was seen rising over the destructed bridge area. Through the video, it looked like some portions of the overpass were thoroughly demolished. However, the video or the official statements when the strike occurred are yet to be disclosed.
Ukraine destroyed another overpass located over the Seym River area in this invasion, earlier this week. The place is close to the hamlet of Glushkovo. One of the reasons for the Demolition of the bridges might be because the bridge is the main link for the Kremlin to supply its forces and Troops to other nations.
As Reuters news Agency reported the unleashing information that the military analyst’s officers as already located three other bridges in the region of the Kursk. It is noted that these regions are not mostly used for Russia as these links are used by the nations to ration supply to the military forces. However, through the previous incident and the video, it was indicated that the two important bridges were either demolished by the Ukrainian Army or caused severe damage to the ok overpasses.
The Ukrainian Vision
With the timeline being more than two weeks after the invasion of Ukraine in Russia occurred, it is safe to say that the Ukrainian soldiers are meaning to stay in Russia for a while, to complete their operation.
The Ukrainian President Zelensky informed that the army was further fortifying their bases in the Kursk region. They are meant to extend their reach throughout Russia.
Zelensky further stated this is more of a defence act than the offence. The troops of Ukraine are trying to destroy Russia’s war potential as much as possible. Establishing a buffer zone in the region is one of the initial steps of the larger objective.
In February 2022, Russia initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukrainian people taking the country off-guard and gradually gaining ground in the eastern Ukraine side. However, Ukraine’s counter-attack on Russia was much of shocking news. Further news of fortifying their positions in the region is unexpected. Numerous residents in these regions are evacuated for their safety and this unrest continues as this is the first time any foreign force invaded Russia.
